Dream #60 – Tengu

” It’s night time. I can see the full moon. There are no clouds in the sky, yet there is rain. I am at the edge of a forest, near a small path. I am waiting for someone. I am a ninja, once again. Since I am waiting and I have nothing to do, I walk a little and I take a look at the area. The view is breathtaking. The moonlight shows a vast land full of vegetation surrounded by mountains. At some point, I hear someone running towards me at the distance. I hide behind a farmer’s house and I wait. Soon enough I can see a being that is not human, yet he has human characteristics. He is smelling my presence. He is about 8 feet tall, but he is always in a bending position because of the weight pressure he has on his body. So even if he is 8 feet tall, he is about 6 feet high. His body is both muscular and not. He has a very muscled structure around his chest, back and lower body which make him look like a hunchback… But his legs and arms are very skinny. He seems to be extremely strong despite his tortured appearance. He is holding multiple objects on his back. He has some sort of backpack made out of multiple dark-colored clothes ( red, white, purple and black being the most important colors ) and I assume that what is inside this backpack is the gold I am searching for. He has an oil lamp on one hand and a stick on the other hand. His face is very similar to a mummy: human traits, yet all the flesh is gone. He barely has a nose. It’s as if his nose was cut in a previous and ancient battle. His skin is dark brown. He has a blind, white eye and a pale brown one. He is moving extremely quickly, yet stopping in a unhuman way. He moves like an insect. As I look at it, I feel like this creature is pure evil and that it has no human weaknesses. The foul appearance of the monster pushes me to end its life quickly.

I attack him. I have multiple weapons at my disposal. I first throw five shurikens in a very fast movement but the creature is extremely quick and jumps over my shurikens. It drops its gold in the same movement, because I did hit the backpack. The lamp falls on the ground and there is no light except for the moon’s. We fight within the darkness and the pale rays of light provided by the moon. His stick is as hard as my sword and he is stronger, quicker than me. His hits almost paralyse my arms. I run away, but not in a cowardly kind of way. I actually know that there is a place for me that could help me kill the creature. It follows me and it taunts me in its own devilish language. At some point I arrive near a cliff. There is a waterfall and at the bottom there are plenty of nasty rocks. My plan is to push the creature in order to make it fall on the rocks below. We fight a little as I am running for the cliff, because it is quicker. I execute plenty of attacks, especially with some sort of bladed nunchaku which repels the creature for a time. At some point, there is a large tree and we fight on its branches. I end up losing my nunchuks, deeply stuck in the tree trunk after missing a hit. The creature managed to hit me many times at that point. I take out my only remaining weapon – a Ninjatō ( shorter than a katana ).

We end up and fight at the edge of the cliff. I fight with everything I have, but the creature is so strong that it destroys my sword. As it strikes the last, final blow to end my life, I roll under it by passing between its legs and I execute a kicking motion on its back as I am rolling, pushing the creature and ultimately making it fall to its death. I take a look below and I see that the creature is lying in the water among the rocks, dead. Suddenly, the creature itself disappears, leaving only its clothes. I assume that this is normal for such a creature. I go back, collect the gold and I quickly find myself in front of who I assume to be my master and Daimyo. I tell him that I have killed the creature and that I have collected its gold. I talk about numbers that I cannot remember very well at that point. There was 200 000 and also 300 000 “something”. I believe this was the sum that was retrieved by me and another ninja who had killed a similar creature prior to the events.

Dream #58 – Post Apocalypse

” The entire family is here. A friend is also here, and he tells me ” Are you ready? “. I immediately acknowledge that some sort of natural disaster is about to hit us, but none of us knows what it exactly is.

Some seconds later I abandon my body and I have a vision of the Earth itself. The seas are boiling, and all of the ice found on the planet melts at the same time. I can clearly see North America being overrun by water. Suddenly, I revert back to my body. Heat comes out of nowhere and I can sense that my body is burning. I lose pretty much all of my skin. Surprisingly, I am the only one who actually loses any skin. My family members are hurt, but they remain the same.

The heat is gone now, and I feel like it would be better to go out and get some fresh air. The landscape changed. I look back and the house is gone. I am in some sort of desert made out of dried mud. There is a friend there. She is searching for something within some mud cracks, it appears. I talk to her and she tells me ” Go help my boyfriend, he needs help “. He is not happy. He is searching for something as well, but he can’t find it. ”

Dream #57 – The End

The patient was very shaken by this dream. His anxiety was at a very high level. He told us he never had a vivid dream such as this one.

” I am in the wilderness. I reckognize this place. This is where I go to see the sunset, on top of a small hill that overlooks the lake. I took many photos there.

There is an eagle in the sky. He flies in circles for a short while, then I lift my arm at shoulder height, and he descends and perches on my arm. He is a friend. He is not a pet, but a companion.

My family is bathing at the lake’s shore. Everything is calm.

Then my eagle feels something. It fears something. Something huge. Something menacing. I order it to fly away, to flee to safety.

The sky turns red. There is a gigantic bright light coming from the sky. It leaves a large tray of fire in its path. But it doesn’t touch the ground yet. It’s still in the air, going at great speeds.

We begin to feel heat. We are burning. We all go in the lake to prevent burning even more. The water in the lake is also warm, but it still is better than on the surface. We hide underwater for as long as we can, then we get a breath of air.

Suddenly there is a light coming from the distance and we all get pushed by what seems to be an extremely strong wave of wind. At the same time, a deafening sound comes with it. The comet, or whatever it was, crashed not far from here. We hide in our cabin and listen to the radio to learn about the disaster that just struck us. “

Dream #56 – Dangerous Ride

” I was with my little cousin and my grandfather. We were driving down a road made out of mud near the shore of a lake. Me and my cousin were on the back while my grandfather was driving. He started “climbing” some mountain with his truck and it seemed to me like the truck was almost going to flip over on its back so I used all my weight and threw myself near the front to balance the whole thing. I was very concerned about the safety of my cousin. “

Dream #51 – Seasons

” I am walking on the border of an old road. There are corn fields on both sides. It is obvious to me that the season is fall. I have a backpack and I am travelling. Hitchhiking. I look around and I see a girl. Turns out she was my first girlfriend.

” Why don’t you come with me in the forest? “

” Okay, let’s go! “

I leave the road and I follow her. We soon end up in the forest. There are multiple very beautiful plants with a rich, healthy green color. I reckon this looks like summer, now. I cannot identify the plants and they seem like those found in Amazonia. I keep on walking on a nice little path. As I am walking, I notice that the path is now full of dead leaves and other things – it is now fall time again. Finally, we end up in an open area. There is an old, almost undone tree house. Yet, it appears to be solid and steady. There are two abandoned vehicles. A white school bus and a sky blue truck. They are rusty, but they are beautiful like old, forgotten treasures. Tall grass surrounds both of them. The first thing I see on the borders of the open space: blueberries. It’s full of blueberries all over the place. And they seem so fresh and there are so many. I eat a lot of blueberries. They are delicious. As I eat the blueberries I find out that the whole place is now full of white, fresh snow. The snow, however, is only concentrated around the blueberries. It is in a near melting state. This makes the blueberries stand out even more and the whole place is stunning to look at. I feel very calm and appeased at this point. The area appears to be made out of gold with the sun’s light.

I decide that I want to set up camp in this area. However, since I am travelling with some sort of established “law” I choose not to sleep in the tree house or in the vehicles. I ask the girl to bring me an axe. Suddenly, I see a wood panel full of different axes. There are firefighter axes, small axes, tomahawks… Name them and you have them. I take a grey axe that seems to be the newest model of them all. I start chopping down some wood. The sun is setting very quickly and I fear that I might not have the time to chop all the wood to build my little log house. I feel cold. I tell myself that I will be freezing tonight if I do not take this wood and make it into a fire. My ex-girlfriend takes care of lighting the fire. I think about all of those blueberries. Bears eat blueberries. I do hope one will not come around here tonight. My ex-girlfriend screams.

” Look behind you! “

There is a bear. The whole place is now very dark. The bear is slowly walking towards me, moving its head from left to right, right to left, balancing forever. I yell at it. It stands up, avoiding eye contact. I grab some wood, but all the wood I grab is rotten. Each and every time I hit the bear, the wood breaks. The bear is angrier. It growls and breathes very hard. It knocks me down on the ground and overpowers me. I punch it.

As I punch the bear, I start feeling like I have some sort of power within my fist. I punched the bear many times without any results, so I concentrate on one single fatal punch. I punch the bear right in the face and it goes back at least three feet in front of me. It falls on its back, and then it leaves, running away. I feel like I used all of my ”power punches“. For some reason, I felt like I only had three punches allowed and that this was the last one. My ex-girlfriend asks if I am alright and I say “yes…”. But I feel very weak. It is now night time so we decide to leave the forest and go to her parents’ house up on the hill. As I walk with her, I feel better and my energy is coming back. In the last remaining images of this dream, I found out that it was now spring time and that many flowers were growing and blooming very rapidly under the moon’s light. A very thin dew floats around the hair, highlighted by the light. It is truly a very beautiful area.

As I walk, I scratch my hand on something. I look at my hand and there is a plant all around it! I try to remove it, but I cannot. It does not hurt ( nothing truly hurts in dreams ), but I feel like it is draining my energy. My ex-girlfriend removes it as if it was nothing. I have a red “J” mark on my hand. She takes a look at it. She leads me to some sort of area where there are many bags and boxes containing many letters and numbers and “glyphs” that I cannot recognize. Finally, we find the “J” box. It is a transparent one.  She opens it and there is some sort of sheet of paper in it. It has “J” on it, printed in red. It is some sort of prescription, I believe. “

Dream #47 – Mad Horses

” I am in some sort of hallway. There’s a red carpet all over the floor, pretty much like in theaters. The walls are brown and peach colored. There are people in front and behind me. Lots of people. Suddenly, plenty of horses enter the building and they run over everybody. The horses run over each other as well. They are all mad, insane, uncontrollable. The bigger horse of them all is at least fifteen feet tall and bites a smaller horse by the neck and throws it out of the way. After a short period of time, all the horses, including the gigantic one, are lying on the ground, dying. I try to heal them, but I can’t. I try to lift them so they can go up on their 4 legs, but they’re too heavy. “

Dream #42 – Immortal

” I stand in front of a house during nighttime. It resembles 18th century American homes. There is a tall, large being on the balcony. It is not human, but I can’t see it very clearly because of the darkness. I reckon it’s my enemy. I try to enter the house by opening the front door, but it is locked. I find a small opening that leads to the basement and I crawl through it. There is water on the floor. Bricks and wooden panels are left on the ground, as if the house was abandoned while being renovated. The basement is made out of large and long hallways.

 

I manage to see in the darkness that there are women hovering over the water. They are malevolent ghosts. They all have black hair and white gowns. Their gowns are torn and dirty. They are rotating, ever floating over the same spot, searching for intruders. If they rotate towards me and if they see me, they will attack. I go behind one of them. I try not to be seen. It works. But on the last hallway that leads to the upper floor, there are 3 of these women. I am able to avoid being spotted by the first two, but the last one gazes into my eyes and it attacks. I push her away, but she is very fast. She is screaming, she bites and scratches, like a wild animal. I manage to get a hold of her head and I smash it on the wall, but she cannot be killed. She is recovering. I must escape.

 

The rest of the house is empty. There are no ghosts. Only old furniture, silk, webs and dust. I go to the second floor. I see the creature I saw at first. It is evil. It reigns over this house. I know it is a demon. It has a large, yet muscular, greenish and grey body. It has a very large head, with large, protruding eyes. It has bat wings on both sides of its head. It has no mouth, only tentacles. It attacks me, but I am strong, for now I know I am in a dream. I punch it, but its chest is made out of some sort of mud. This creature seems to be the product of decay and decomposition. Every single time I punch it, it is weakened, but I feel like it cannot die. I feel like it is dead already, but yet it stands in my way and is fighting me.

 

I keep attacking and it tries to attack but I am too strong. I push it at the edge of the balcony. It then begins to transform. Its shape is stronger, bolder. It looks like a very tall human now. It looks at me and smiles. Dragon wings grow behind its back. It flies away. Even though I won the fight, I felt like I had been… Used. This creature clearly wanted me to attack it… But why? “

Dream #41 – Black Medicine

” I don’t remember much of this dream. I was on a chair. My arms were tied to arms of the chair. A nurse came. She injected a black liquid in my veins. I didn’t want that. She didn’t care. I felt threatened. I broke the chair and escaped. I found myself in an abandoned city. Cars were all over the place. It was as if a cataclysm hit the area. Nobody was in sight. I wandered for a long time, trying to find other people. I never did. ”

Dream #40 – Bear capture

I recall being in a truck. It was a red truck. There were four of us; my grandfather, my uncle, a stranger and me. We went to the heart of a forest and we walked down a small path until we found a grotto. There was a lot of green moss everywhere around it.

Then a black bear came out. It was an adult and it was quite large. I remember it was extremely aggressive and white slime was coming out of its mouth.

My uncle told me we had to capture it. We had no guns. We only had a large cloth made out of leather. Our plan was to trap the bear within the cloth, tie it up and take it with us.

But the bear made a move, and my uncle was surprised and fell to the ground. The bear was approaching him, so I had to do something. I yelled and threw a stone at the bear’s back. It then turned around and charged me, but the stranger who was with us threw the cloth. We used ropes and tied the cloth with the bear trapped in it. It was struggling to escape but we held on until it became calm. Then I woke up.

Dream #35 – Spirit temple

” I was alone in a forest. It was nighttime once again. The trees were tall and dark. A very thick, murky fog was everywhere. I could barely see the ground. I walked in this forest for a while until I found what appeared to be a very ancient temple built eons ago. Deep green grass covered most of it, but I could see a Babylonian and Mesopotamian design to it. My attention was drawn towards my left side and I saw many white spirits floating. I would describe them as elongated, blurry diamonds hovering. They spoke to me in unison and said that I could free them if I would build a monument in their honor. At this very moment, my mother came to me and I explained her that I had to enter the temple in order to learn more about these spirits. She stayed outside while I ventured inside.

 

The temple was in a poor state and what remained of it gave me the impression that it was a not a temple but a mausoleum. I could see many human skulls engraved in both stone and gold. I went to the second floor and saw a moving, repulsing force of darkness. It’s very hard to describe it. I could see stone pillars orbiting around it. What was in the center was a grey mass of clouds and smoke. The being saw me and came towards me. It pushed me back with a violent wind and returned to its initial position only to strike again. Every time it would attack, I could see an evil being’s face through the cloud, blowing the wind against me. I ultimately fell on the ground and when I stood back up, the being was nowhere to be seen.

 

I kept on advancing in this temple. There were many pillars, all in a rectangular shape. I discovered a very large room full of instruments made of stone, metal and wood. I couldn’t understand their utility. I saw a pillar with some sort of machine attached to its base. The machine would spit paper and swallow it back at great speeds. I took one paper and all I could see was the face of a very old woman and some writings I couldn’t read. I put the paper back into the machine and went for a corridor. Just before entering the corridor, I saw two plaques on the wall: One jade green, the other ruby red. Both plaques were on a canvas made of pure gold. I entered the corridor and found a man who introduced himself as being an ” occult scientist “. I saw that behind him there was some sort of devilish being, a red dog with a human face, more precisely a woman’s face. It was in a cage and it was obvious to me that the occult scientist was studying it. The dog spoke evil to me and acted very aggressively, striking its own cage, trying to escape, but I didn’t fear it. The scientist didn’t fear it either. He introduced me to his daughter. I told them about the cloud and smoke being and they told me it was a very powerful being. They didn’t know if it was a god or a being sent by a god, but they knew he was the guardian of the dead. “

Dream #32 – Languages

” In my last dream, I met once again alien beings. They were small and looked like little children. Their skin was very similar to olives and they had large, curious eyes. I was not scared because it was obvious to me that these beings were stricly focused on learning and discovering. They led me inside a small artificial cave with many plants. There was a lot of moss on the ground, walls and ceiling. I saw many grey stones with glowing blue symbols. A deep purple light was illuminating the cave, but I couldn’t find its origin. One of the aliens showed me a particular stone on the left. The symbol was a planet with multiple halos around it. I touched it and some sort of knowledge was immediately transmitted to me. This stone was about languages and communication. I understood that all the stones in this cave held knowledge on different subjects: astronomy, medicine, nature preservation, etc…

 

Something happened, however. I sensed a malevolent spirit around us. It took control over me, commanded my body to act aggressively, and the alien beings were very scared and ran away from me. I was very angry at this spirit and I fought with it, travelling from one dream world to another. After a brutal fight, I ended in nothingness. My body was floating in a black world. It was an empty world. I felt reassured, but I also felt that this evil spirit was still out there and that it would attack me again in further dreams. “

Dream #29 – Spider

” In this very short dream, I had spider webs all over me. The spider itself was still attached to its web. Every time I would shake and try to make it go away, the spider would come closer and closer. “

Dream #28 – King of Bears

” I had one more dream about bears. I was at our camp with my grandfather and his brother. We heard noises, so I went outside. A gigantic grizzly bear came out of nowhere and attacked me. I was very scared once again. I was quick enough to move away from it and I went back inside the camp. I closed and locked both doors. The bear charged the doors and I thought it would be able to enter the camp. My grandfather and uncle came running towards the door and we all scared the bear away. It ran back but remained in front of us, looking at us. My uncle went for his rifle. I wasn’t scared anymore at that point, but I didn’t feel at ease with this situation. Killing the bear was out of the question for me for I knew at this point that it was yet another bear in my dreams. It seemed very important that this bear should remain alive and well. I told my uncle not to aim his rifle towards the bear. He shot next to it and it ran away as the bullets hit the ground. “

Dream #27 – Warriors and Demons

” I found myself in a very strange place. It was a dojo. There were many warriors and they all had the same face. Their facial attributes were slightly different from ordinary human beings. They seemed to be lesser demon warriors. They all wore blue robes. They were performing some sort of ritual involving a katana. They all had a katana and were sitting on the ground. They would make several gestures involving the katana and after a series of movements, they would try to attack the warrior behind them. There was a different person witnessing the event. He was some sort of jester. He would walk next to the warriors and taunt them.

I left the dojo and encountered a wicked woman. She was possessed by an evil demon. Her face was white and the skin around her eyes was black as coal. She charged towards me and I pushed her back. I was very scared, but I knew that somehow I had the power to eliminate this demon. As she charged once more, I spoke to the demon itself and I ordered it to leave the woman’s body. The demon was in very deep pain but remained within the body. It charged once more, furiously. A pure white light emerged from my chest and hit the woman. I woke up right after this. “

Dream #26 – Intruders

” This dream began with a false awakening. In my dream, I woke up and I heard voices. I heard people talking. The voices were unfamiliar, and I immediately understood that there were strangers in the house. I took my knife and opened the door. I saw three boys, three teenagers. They were stealing things. I challenged them but I woke up afterwards. During the whole dream I was very scared. “

Dream #24 – The Octopus

” I don’t know what happened last night. I woke up, at least I think I woke up, with the feeling that something was over my head. I looked at the ceiling and there I saw it. It was a living shadow. Some sort of dark octopus. And I could easily see it as I can see the neighboor walking to his car. It was about the size of a cat. I could see its tentacles waving in all the directions. It was coming down on the wall. It was going for me. I felt its malevolent spirit within my own soul. We were having some sort of connection. I felt like this thing was a parasite. I felt like it was pure evil. I felt all of this in under a second of pure fear. I couldn’t scream, I could barely react to it. I jumped out of my bed and went to turn on the lights, but when I looked back, it wasn’t there anymore. I turned on the lights. It was 2:47am. I don’t know what it was, but it was there. I have never seen something like this in my entire life and I am scared. “

Dream #23 – The Pact

” I had a very small dream which turned into a nightmare. I was at my grandfather’s house with most of my family members. Very quickly, we saw bright white lights coming from everywhere. The lights took over the house and everything was white. Small, pure white alien beings began to emerge from these lights and talked to me within my mind. They told me they had been following me since my birth and that now they needed me. I was very afraid of them and I felt that they were taking my family members hostage without actually telling me directly so I chose to obey their orders. I went out and searched for something… I didn’t know what it was, but I knew I had to search for it on the ground, within the tall grass at the edge of the forest. After searching for a while, I was surrounded once again by other beings. These beings were human in appearance but I knew that they weren’t human and that they were hiding their true nature. They told me they knew who I was and that I had been contacted by these white aliens. They wanted me to tell them where they were. I felt like I was caught in a conflict that was much bigger than me. I was scared and all I wanted was to be safe and out of this mess. I told them about their location. They immediately searched for them. Some of my family members came to me and told me that the whites had been attacked by other aliens. I felt guilty. The fake humans came back. They had killed the white aliens and were now going to kill me in order to remain unknown to the rest of humanity. I ran away in the forest with my family. I kept falling on the ground. I woke up with the feeling that I had betrayed those who had been protecting me for many years. “

Dream #20 – The Lights

” I had a very small dream. I remember seeing a shiny white light in the night’s sky. I was in the forest, near my camping ground. Suddenly, the white light divided in two. The two lights were moving very quickly and would fly around randomly. I remember being very afraid of the lights. I am unsure if it was a UFO or not. I feared that they would see me. I felt isolated and defenseless. I woke up at the middle of the night with the belief that this wasn’t a dream… But that it was a memory. ”

Dream #15 – At war

Today the patient came back to us with yet another dream. He was very troubled by this one and didn’t sleep very well.

 

 

” I remember being at war. I was fully equiped as a soldier. A house was burning… No, multiple houses were burning all around me. The fires were very intense and my clothes were very thick so I was sweating and I had to wipe my face off with my hands in order to see better. There was an extremely heavy fog all around us. I believe I was in the middle of a battle in World War 1. We were four soldiers, and we were all scared to death. The enemies were everywhere. We were trying to remain silent, hoping that we would survive. We could hear them yell. We could hear motors running at the distance, squadrons passing by, footprints heading towards us. We dared not to shoot with our guns in fear of showing our location. We were in a very small trench next to an old car’s metallic carcass. Suddenly, one of us pulled the trigger on himself in a desperate act. Me and the two remaining soldiers did not want to die that way and we knew the enemy was now aware of our position so we decided to get out of our hiding place and face death with courage. As we advanced, running and screaming within the fog, I lost sight of my friends. I soon lost myself completely isolated within this fog and I couldn’t see anything. I screamed, but I didn’t get any replies. Even the sounds of war were gone. I couldn’t hear anything. Anything at all. Then, after thinking about it, I realized that it was I who was gone. I had been killed. I was a ghost. I was in a ghost world. A world from which I would never escape from. Fear left my soul at this instance. Insanity took over. ”

Dream #13 – The glass house

” I have had this dream on numerous occasions. It’s a very large and expensive house and its mostly made out of glass. There’s always a very dangerous thunderstorm raging outside and the lightning illuminates the interior of the house. This time I was with my mother, my sister and one of her friends. We were all terrified and did not know if the house would be able to stand against the storm. “

Dream #11 – Worm

” The patient had this very short dream in which he was discovering that a very large worm had been living between his shoulder blades. The patient remembers being in the shower and removing it. It caused enourmous pain and discomfort. The worm was still moving. It was pale, almost white, and had been carving a path in the patient’s back. The patient was unsure if this creature was a parasite or a symbiote but he knew he had to take it off no matter the cost. To him, the worm represented something very evil and, fortunately, he got rid of it. The patient recalls being in a high state of uncertainty and felt very scared from the beginning to the end. It was, to him, perhaps, the worst nightmare he had ever experienced in his entire life. It seemed so real. When he woke up, he touched his back to make sure the entity was not there anymore. “

Dream #8 – Battles

The patient recalls leaving home and encountering three tall men on the streets. The men started harassing him verbally, and then they engaged in a fight. The patient was outnumbered and, although he put up quite a fight, was slowly losing the battle. As he was losing the fight, he remembered that he was dreaming and unlocked a lucid state of dreaming. He concentrated on himself and his energy and through a scream of anger, he became very strong. His muscles grew in size and a bright, red fire surrounded him. He then managed to destroy his enemies in a single blow. The patient then recalls wandering through this dream in search for a peaceful and quiet place, but he woke up soon afterwards.

 

 
The patient, however, went back to sleep and had another dream which resembles a nightmare. He remembers being some sort of ghost hunter. He was in a haunted house and suddenly a ghost appeared through the wall and fought him. The patient remembers falling in some sort of ghost world as physical contact was made and he managed to kill the ghost by drowning him in a lake. The patient then remembers finding himself in his hometown, walking on the streets. He recalls meeting a group of boys and one of them accidentally hit him will he was passing. The young boy argued that the patient should have moved out of the way. The patient said ” I was there first, you had to move. “. The young boy explained that his candies, that had now fallen on the ground, couldn’t be eaten anymore and the patient decided to buy him new candy to close the argument. The patient, however, had no money in his pockets. A strong feeling of helplessness came to birth within the patient who subsequently woke up soon afterwards.

Dream #7 – Future Japan

Today the patient told us of another dream. This time, he was at home with his mother and she was complaining of having multiple large insects invading her house.  The patient went to bed ( in his dream, of course ) and tried to sleep, but as he was lying down, a spider-like creature attacked him. It tried to bite, but the patient killed it. After this, the patient stood up and searched for other insects. He soon found many others and they were coming out of an open door leading to some sort of amazonian forest. He looked behind him and when he looked back, the amazonian forest had been replaced by a city – a Japanese city. It seemed to be a very advanced city. Everything was white and clean and people appeared to be very happy to live there. The patient crossed the door and went forward.

 

The city seemed to be underground. The patient couldn’t see the sky. He wanted to talk to the people surrounding him, but they all spoke Japanese and he did not. Suddenly the patient had a strong desire to find a specific man. He had a picture and information on the man. The patient, however, found a very large pool. The pool was U shaped. The patient was fully clothed, but wanted to swim too. Many people were swimming. Many children were there with their family. The patient smiled and waved at many children who smiled and waved back at him. The patient swam all the way and came back to the entrance.

 

When the patient came out of the water, everyone seemed to leave at the same time. Soon enough, the area was deserted and the patient was wandering in a dark corridor. He met two women who were discussing the necessity of war. The patient told them:

 

” I am not on either sides because no one cares about me. You fight for dominance and gold, but the only war I would die for would be the fight for life itself. “

 

The two women dissapeared, vanished. The patient was left in total obscurity. At this point, the patient believes that it was the start of a very small nightmare. A vampire-like man came and challenged the patient to a fight. The vampire would spawn at various places around the patient and try to attack him with a two handed axe. The patient countered every attacks, but he grew weary and woke up.
